A wiki is a place on the web that is specific to our class. We can use it to share thoughts, ideas, links to information and even our voice threads. We can build collective knowledge in a wiki to truly develop the "think tank" potential of our class. I know you have used Wikipedia... guess what that is an example of?
1. Only post meaningful, relevant information on your topic.
2. Summarize all information found on the Net and link to it. Regurgitation is not cool (even if it is spitting back actual text).
3. Continue to read your topic and ask -- "What do I not understand about this?" Proceed to answer that question and post your findings. Make it make sense and be able to explain it. I want to know what you THINK.
4. Use some of the websites you read about.
5. Do not delete information of another group unless it is redundant or it needs to be edited to make it better. Remember the difference between collaborating and vandalism.
6. You may be asked to summarize your information in class.
